The new Bruce Springsteen biopic is an absolute must watch movie. Catch it in the movie theater, or at least be sure to watch it when it comes out on streaming.
This new movie is about the making of Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska. It focuses on a two year period when he wrestled with his newfound fame and the pressures of being a superstar. The movie shows Springsteen finding love, which had big effects on the people around him and on his music.
Bruce Springsteen is a legendary American singer and songwriter also known as The Boss. In the course of his career, he released 18 albums. Some of his work is among the most popular music ever released. Songs like “Born in the USA,” “Glory Days,” “Hungry Heart,” and “Dancing in the Dark” are still popular. He is best known for being a rock and roll singer, although some of his songs are more in the folk style. He sings about life in the U.S and the glory days! Even in his 70’s he is still going strong, with his last album being released in 2022. His whole life hasn’t been this happy. All of this success comes after some sadness in his life. Bruce Springsteen had a troubled childhood that included physical and mental abuse. The movie shows that his lonely childhood followed by the pressure of sudden global fame caused him to struggle with alcohol abuse.
My thought about the new Bruce Springsteen movie is that Jeremy Allen White, the actor who played Bruce, was really good as The Boss. He played this character perfectly. It seemed like I was watching Bruce Springsteen himself. His voice and his actions embodied the character really well.
The best part about the movie is how Bruce Springsteen overcame his depression because of the album Nebraska. The relationship between Bruce and his dad began to heal after this album was released, and this shows the power of music. I really like this movie. If you really like old school Bruce Springsteen, or just music in general, you should see this.
